"Mike Tarzian pulled off the impossible when I hired him to be the line producer on my indie feature TIME TOYS. Never do a movie with kids and dogs? We didn't have any dogs, but we had stunts, a car chase, tons of visual effects, numerous locations, extensive production design, special fabricated props, on set special effects, a big cast, and oh, did I mention four kids in every scene and only 18 days to shoot the movie? Mike pulls rabbits out of hats, films the rabbits, then sells them on Ebay! He's one of the best producers around."Mark Rosman, Director- A CINDERELLA STORY, THE PERFECT MAN, LIZZIE MCGUIRE

"I just finished my 5th feature film with Michael Tarzian and he is a line-producer extraordinaire! He's a real professional with phenomenal negotiating and communication skills. Michael has a vast network of keys, crew and vendors, and he'll save you tens of thousands of dollars on your budget. From the moment you start soft prep there is no one better to have in your corner."Suzanne Lyons, Film Producer & Author “Indie Film Producing: The Craft of Low Budget Filmmaking”

"I couldn't imagine having made my film without Mike Tarzian line-producing it. From Day 1 until "that's a wrap", his vast knowledge and superior organizational skills were on full display. Whether it was budgeting, getting the best deals, hiring staff, contracts, etc., Mike's work ethic was solid, and he made it look effortless. The gift he gave me was the freedom to focus solely on directing, confident that he had my back on just about everything else. Plus, he's one of the nicest guys in the business!" Adam Fields, Director, ONE-EYED MONSTER, Composer-DAWSON'S CREEK, DAWN ANNA

“Michael and I worked on several projects across a period of 10 years. His skills of budgeting and project management always exceeded my expectations. By working with him, you will get high-quality production values within assigned budgets and schedules."Daishi Takiishi, Producer/Director, Nice Day LA, Inc.
